DEMOCRATS PUSH

2-POINT PROGRAN

Hoosier Support for F. D. R.’s Foreign Policy and strong National and State Tickets Held Goal After French Lick Parley.

By VERN BOXELL

Tndisns Democrats were back on their home grounds today with two major objectives after a three-day pow-wow

at French Lick.

Their immediate goal was to rally Hoosiers behind President Roosevelt's foreign policy—a task urged upon them by New Deal leaders who made the trip from Washington |

to spur the editors and party leaders into action.

Their second assignment was to line up strong Con-

gressional and State Legislature candidates for the 1942 campaign and elect them to support the party’s national

and State executives.

Hopes of achieving both objectives ran high after the round of conferences and business sessions that marked the meeting, highlighted by a banquet attended by 1100 Saturddy night. Especially confident was the Washington delegation, headed by Wayne Coy, assistant to President Roosevelt, and Oscar Ewing, assistant national chairman. They were the main cogs in the program in which state as well as national problems were discussed.

Hosts at Luncheon

They were hosts at a private luncheon Saturday, attended by Federal Security Administrator Paul McNutt, former Senator Sherman Minton, former Governor M. Clifford Townsend of the OPM, State Chairman Fred Bays and other Indiana leaders. Noticeably absent was Frank McHale, national committeeman. Hoosier organization leadeérship and Federal patronage were --reported the chief items discussed. Two resolutions indorsing the President’s foreign program were adopted at the meeting, one by the .State Committee and the others by the Editorial Association. Both urged the Indiana Congressional delegation to back up the New Deal policy. Senator Frederick VanNuys, a chief target of the resolutions because of his opposition to many of President Roosevelt's moves, maintained a “poker face” throughout the meeting and declined to comment after adoption of the two resolutions. Two Governors Speak

He also failed to mention the subject in a short talk at Saturday's banquet in which he thanked his “friends of 40 years in the Democratic Party” and praised Governor Schricker’s “matchless leadership.” Two: Governors — Keen Johnson of Kentucky and Mr. Schricker— also spoke. Mr. Johnson was the hit of the banquet and wound up his talk with a strong plea that Hoosier Democrats give their Governor a Legislature which would support him in 1942. His plea followed a similar one made by Mr. rg who outlined his administration to date in introducing his Kentucky guest. The biggest ovation was given former Governor McNutt, who had

most of his time with close friends. Federal Judge Minton also was given g big ovation. Postmaster General Frank C. Walker, after outlining the President’s attempts to secure peace from 1933 to 1938, told the banquet audience: “We did not wish war—we do not wish war—but we know now that war is upon us. It is upon us through the necessity of defense. We did not go out to meet it, but

our individual lives.

battled before an insane and fratri-

we, all of us, stand ready—watch-] ful—waiting.”

Calls for Sacrifice

Mr. Coy told the party leaders that “we are endeavoring to stand in the role of non-fighting partner to those nations whose struggle we regard as our struggle.

our manpower but our economic strength supported by our Navy. “The success of this policy depends upon the ability of our economy to adjust itself to the exigencies of war production without actual participation in that war... . .“Understanding of the need for economic sacrifice . . . is the fundamental issue confronting the American people today. We must pay in sacrifice, by working harder, consuming less, putting more of our money into the national’ security. These are the things the American people must ‘accept if we are to escape the disaster of war ourselves.”

Ex-Broadway Beauty, Wed Five Times, Dies in Prison

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Sept. 29 (U. P.) —Mirs. Genevieve McKin- " ney Toomey Teal Paddleford Howells Fawcett, one-time Broadway beauty and international adventuress, died in the Washington State Penitentiary last Friday, it was revealed today. Her check-bouncing activities cost her jail terms in London, Nice, New York and California and she died in prison before she could claim the ’ $12,000,000 estate she insisted her fourth husband, W. M. Howells, had left her in Egypt. Her husbands were William OC. Toomey of St. Paul, private secretary to James J. Hill, railroad magnate: Ben Teal, wealthy theatrical producer; Dr. George C. Paddleford, millionaire oil operator; John C. Fawcett, Brooklyn dental supply manufacturer, and Mr. Howells. She and Mr. Toomey were di-

vorced when she insisted on a career as a Broadway chorus girl. She married Mr. Teal and he died before his alienation of affections suif, involving his wife and the head waiter of an exclusive New York hotel, could be tried.

Dr. Paddleford divorced her after introducing her to European society and straightening out bad check difficulties for her in Vienna, Lucerne and Italy. Mr. Howells died a year after their marriage and she said he left her his fortune. After Mr. Howells’ death she spent two terms in California prisons for fraud and bad check charges. After

the second such term she went to

Havana, where she married Mr. Fawcett. He secured an annulment in 1931 when he learned of his wife's prison record. She was sent to prison for the last time in 1936.

MOSCOW, Sept. 22 (U.

GROWING PAINS

Inflation Check Sought As Costs of Living Climb Rapidly.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (U. P.). The United States is experiencing a brand of prosperity more spectacular in many phases than the 1929 boom—but the Government and public alike are worried lest ines get too good in an unbalanced wa ore people are at work and drawing more money in wages than at any time since the first World

low 1929 but rising rapidly. Industrial production is at an all-time high. So is Government spending. And so are taxes, which eat up a large part of boom profits. The nation feels the first aches of an economic hangover even before the spree has reached its peak. Despite increasing wages and dwindling unemployment, protests over recent price increases have caused Government leaders to request President Roosevelt to speed legislative and administrative action to check the nation’s growing boom.

Retail Sales Rising

The boom is being fed by the defense effort of this country. The Government is spending more in a week than it spent in a month only a few years ago. Retail sales have risen steadily for three years. The Federal Reserve index of industrial activity at the end of August was 161, compared with 124 a year ago. In June, 1940, the purchasing power of the dollar was placed by the Labor Department at 1299 of “normal”; now it is less than 115. Steps already have been ‘taken to slow the upward spiral. But such leaders as Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. and Price Control Director Leon Henderson say the country already is in the early stages of inflation.

New Security Taxes Loom

Restrictions have been placed on installment credit. Mr. Morgenthau has advocated the release of Government-held agricultural surpluses to help keep food and Cloth. ing prices down. New deductions from Vanes for social security are being discussed as a further means of diminishing purchasing power. The Treasury is pushing the sale of defense bonds and stamps as a means of absorbing some of the cash that is pouring into thousands of American billfolds. Employment (excluding agricultural) was estimated by the Labor Department at 39,240,000 in July, an all-time peak and representing an increase of 3,785,000 workers over July, 1940, and 2,200,000 above the level of July, 1929. More than 380,000 found new jobs in July. Looking at it from the other side, the Ameri¢an Federation of Labor estimated the number of unemployed at 4,760,000 in August, compared with 9,266,000 a year previous.

Real Bombs Used During Mock War

BARKSDALE FIELD, SHREVEPORT, La., Sept. 22 (U. P.)— Eighty-one Army and Navy planes loaded with real bombs today raid this area to test their destructive effectiveness on 100 over-age tanks. Flying fortresses, dive bombers, medium bombers and the Army’s fast little “Aircobra” P-39 fighters will participate in the raid, a “sideshow” feature of the Army's greatest peace-time maneuvers. An attack by parachute troops also will be demonstrated, although the parachutists will not be endangered by use of real ammunition. This live bombing, as have most of the features of these maneuvers, parallels training that the German Army and luftwaffe carried on for years. before the outbreakofthewar. = of the war.

General Says Save Planes Also ‘Stood Up Well During Army Maneuvers.

By LEON KAY United Press Staff Correspondent

LAKE CHARLES, La. Sept. 22. —Lieut. Gen. Delos C. Emmons, chief of the air force combat command, said today that American planes and men were “standing up well” in the extensive maneuvers of the armed forces’ greatest peacetime war games.

He said the air force missions during the five days of maneuvers last week provided a full opportunity to test and develop “tactics and theories for the real thing if it should ever come.”

“Everyone in the air force went.

through a highly valuable course of intense training,” he said. “They learned through actual experience some of the problems of ground forces with whom they were’ cooperating. “There were of course a few accidents and some unfortunate fatalities. But considering the large scale operation in small fields, the accident rate so far has been extremely low.” Gen. Emmons said that during the five days the planes flew 40,000 hours, covering about 8,000,000 miles on 3500 separate missions. They consumed about 4,000,000 gallons of gasoline and theoretically dropped 5000 tons of bombs and fired 7,500,000 rounds of ammunition.
